Description
We report the discovery from K2 of two transiting hot Jupiter systems.
K2-295 (observed in Campaign 8) is a K5 dwarf which hosts a planet
slightly smaller than Jupiter, orbiting with a period of 4.0 d. We have
made an independent discovery of K2-237 b (Campaign 11), which orbits an
F9 dwarf every 2.2 d and has an inflated radius 60-70% larger than that
of Jupiter. We use high-precision radial velocity measurements, obtained
using the HARPS and FIES spectrographs, to measure the planetary masses.
We find that K2-295 b has a similar mass to Saturn, while K2-237 b is a
little more massive than Jupiter.

Exoplanets and Astrobiology
The search for life in the universe has been driven by recent discoveries of planets around other stars (known as exoplanets), becoming one of the most active fields in modern astrophysics. The growing number of new exoplanets discovered in recent years and the recent advance on the study of their atmospheres are not only providing new valuable
